If you have been following this series, you will have gone through your house and removed anything you didn't absolutely love or need. After that, you spent some time on your inner realms working to get rid of old emotional baggage that is no longer serving you. This article is to help feel great about our bodies!
Society puts impossible standards on women on how they think they "should" look, or what beauty "really" is. We are going to forget all about those standards now. We have one unique body that is ours until we die. Let's love it today!
Our first order of business is to get in the bath. I want you to scrub yourself from head to toe, use sea salts if you can, Epsom salt will also work fine, or even some regular table salt. Salt is a purifier and will help detox and exfoliate. Spend additional time on your elbows, feet, and any other area that you normally have rougher or drier skin at.
After you've scrubbed, just relax for about fifteen minutes and allow your skin to soak up some moisture from the water. Keeping your skin in top form is not only to be attractive. As the largest organ of our bodies, our skin affects the rest of our physical health too. Give your skin the time it deserves to be healthy and to serve you well.
Dry yourself off and rub lotion all over. Any lotion will do, if it smells extra nice, then that's an aromatherapy bonus! While you are rubbing the lotion into your body, pay attention to your skin and your body. Think about how your body serves you everyday with your busy schedule and how it deserves to be pampered and treated very well by you.
Stay naked, if possible. Go to a mirror and really look at yourself. Don't zone into the areas you are less than pleased with. Look at your body as a whole. What a miracle you have with your skin and bones and organs. How often do you spend time being grateful of this? It's not about how it looks, it's about how it feels to you, how it serves you in your life.
If you have been at war with your body, make amends now. If you need to diet, see your doctor and get started. Formulate an exercise program or contact the plastic surgeon. Whatever you think you need to come to peace with this physical form you are in for this lifetime, make a plan and do it. In the meantime, we are still working on loving ourselves.
Take some time and feel yourself, stroke yourself lightly, hug yourself, give yourself a massage or Reiki treatment. This is a personal time to be alone with your body. Make this a regular time, at least once a week for a half hour if that is possible for you.
Give yourself an orgasm if you feel so inclined to. If you aren't comfortable with that, then let that pass for now. Just feel good with your body however you feel the best about doing it. Self-love is the first thing you need before you can properly love others, and that includes your physical self too.
Make sure giving your appreciation to your body is a priority for you. Touching yourself and touch from others is a necessary part of any wellness plan. Speaking of others, ask for plenty of hugs! Getting hugs boosts your immune system, not to mention how good they feel! If you are in a relationship, keep the romance alive. An active, healthy sex life will take at least ten years off your age.
Let's not forget about our hair! When you take your weekly bath and body pleasuring time, wash your hair and put a deep conditioner in it. What shape is it in? If you don't love the color or style of your hair, make an appointment to get that taken care of as soon as possible.
Get your nails, including your toenails in shape while your working on the rest of you too. They don't need to be especially manicured, remember we are not worried about looks. We are focusing on how we feel and making sure we are well kept will help us feel better.
You have done a lot of work through these last three articles. Treat yourself to something nice now! It's important to reward yourself for work well done. Take a break and get ready for letting the Enchantress you are becoming out into the world. The next article will begin talking about meeting our wants and needs.
Please make sure and email me if you missed any of the previous articles or want to make sure and receive the next ones. I'm also always happy to talk with you if you need extra pointers or would like to share how this information is helping you in your own life.
Lets Get Physical Music
The need to get physical while reading will often shock people at first. But think about it for a moment. If you're like most people, you probably think about reading as a rather passive activity. How often do people read to fall asleep? Better yet, how often do you fall asleep when you're trying to read something important?
If you have that tendency, then it only makes sense to do something different, if you want to have a different effect.
When you are physically involved with most activities, your brain is fully engaged. Neuro-science has demonstrated this with imaging that shows more parts of the brain are active when doing something that has physical involvement. You want this to happen when you are reading.
Good reading is an active thinking process. You don't want to let your mind fall asleep.
There are 2 key components of speed reading, or as I prefer, "dynamic speed reading." One is the mechanical aspect, the other is the cognitive aspect. In this article, I'm talking about the mechanics. The word "dynamic" means full of energy and movement. Does this describe how you read?
Mechanically how do you read? You move your eyes. The eyes are the mechanical windows to your brain. Your brain is the cognitive control panel that makes decisions about what it is seeing. But, it can't make the decisions, or interpret the data fast, if the data is coming in slowly, or piece by piece.
Because of old habits that have been reinforced over the many years you have been reading, your behavior and habit is to mechanically look at printed text pretty much in a word by word approach. How fast can you do that? This is true if you read below 600 wpm (words per minute). And, if you read slower than 600 wpm, it is even more true.
But your mind wants to take in the data (printed material) much faster. Some neuroscientists have theorized that if we could convert our rate of thought to words per minute, it would be in the range 80,000 - 100,000 words per minute range! Think about that.
However, if you're plodding along at 125 wpm, 250 wpm, or even 400 wpm, your mind is racing way ahead. Lack of concentration and mind wandering is a direct result of your old habits.
Observe this yourself. Watch someone read. Watch with careful observation to see how the eyes stop and go. If they are a linear reader, it can seem a painful process just to get through one sentence!
So, to break the habit of looking at individual words, and to get those cameras (your eyes) unstuck, you have to get physical and force the eyes to move more fluidly and efficiently.
So here's the catch. How do you learn to break that habit? Well you have a couple of choices:
1. You can buy a book. But that would mean you have to read it and repeat the same habits you're trying to break. Then you would probably get frustrated and stop reading the book.
2. You can buy a software package that forces the text up on the screen and makes it disappear! This approach won't work either. What do you do with materials that are not in electronic format?
3. You could buy an audio program. Sounds good. But it doesn't show you how to do it.
4. You could buy a video. This is a better choice. But, who's going to help you when you get confused or frustrated?
5. You could take a course with an experienced user and an educational expert that can personally guide you and answer your questions, and give you personal feedback.
Obviously number 5 is the best choice to insure your lasting behavioral change. However, I want to remind you that there is more to effective speed reading than merely moving the eyes, and that is comprehension, but that is for later tips.
